The Department of Italian and Supranational Public Law of the University of Milan will host, on May 11, a conference on Punitive Damages and European Private International Law: State of the Art and Future Developments, in cooperation with the Interest Group on Private International law of the Italian Society of International Law and with the Rivista di diritto internazionale privato e processuale.

The conference takes inspiration from the recent judgment of the Italian Corte di cassazione (Cass., S.U., 5 July 2017, No 16601) and aims at analysing the private international issues involved by the recognition of punitive damages within civil law systems.
